Video Proof of Why Dads Shouldn’t Skateboard — Daily Distraction

Dads are great at so much: teaching us how to play catch, embarrassing us in front of our friends when we're in high school, fixing that step on the porch, etc. But skateboarding is not one of those things.

Though the lovable dad in this clip isn't trying to ride the skateboard, he still manages to give us solid evidence as to why he and his kind should never be allowed to play with such devices. One of the great joys of YouTube is its mind-bogglingly deep selection of skateboarders failing at skateboarding. We're happy to add this dad to that long tradition, even if he's not quite in the same class as, say, this poor guy.

The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you’re eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say “aaahhh” or not believe what you just watched.
